Direction : Read the given information carefully and then answer the following question. Pushpa starts walking towards east. After covering 50 m she turns to her right. Now she walks 30 m and turns to her left. After walking 40 m she turns to her left again. Further she walks 30 m and turns to her right. After walking 10 m she takes left turn and walk 10 m further. Finally she turns to left and walks 100 m and stops. The distance between the initial point and final point is O 10 m 20 m 30 m 50 m
Answers
Answer:
Answer is 10m
Step-by-step explanation:
And she's facing west direction
Given: Pushpa starts walking towards the east. After covering 50 m she turns to her right. Now she walks 30 m and turns to her left. After walking 40 m she turns to her left again. Further, she walks 30 m and turns to her right. After walking 10 m she takes a left turn and walks 10 m further. Finally, she turns to the left and walks 100 m, and stops.
To find: The distance between the initial and the final point.
Solution:
The initial direction of Pushpa: Pushpa starts walking in the east direction.
She walks 50m towards the east and turns to her right, that is, now she walks 30m towards the south.
Then she walks 40m towards her left, that is, in the east.
Now, she turns right, that is, in the north, and walks 30m.
After turning towards her right, she walks 10m in the east again.
She again takes a turn towards her left, that is, she walks 10m towards the north.
And finally, takes a left and walks 100m towards the west.
This can be explained in the diagram below.
Thus, from the diagram, you can see that distance between the initial point (I) and final point (F) is parallel to ED, that is, equal to 10m.
Thus, the distance between the initial point and final point is 10m.
